International Bolting Engineer (IBE) Training

Bolted joints are a fundamental joining technique whose functionality is strongly influenced by external factors, such as operating temperatures and friction conditions. These factors must be considered in design, assembly, and maintenance to ensure that bolted joints can reliably withstand loads and stresses. Consequently, high standards are required - from design and calculation to assembly. However, specialist companies have few opportunities to qualify their staff in a well-founded and targeted manner.

Therefore, TÜV SÜD, together with renowned speakers and technical experts from across Germany, has developed a multi-level qualification program.

Develop your know-how and demonstrate the quality of your expertise as an International Bolting Engineer (IBE) TÜV SÜD with the specialization modules as:

► International Bolting Engineer (IBE) for Steel Construction

► International Bolting Engineer (IBE) for Flanged Joints

► International Bolting Engineer (IBE) for Mechanical Engineering and Rail Vehicles
